Time is still slipping away from me--we're already in the middle of the first month! Can you believe it? I don't make New Year's resolutions, but if I had, this would be about the time when they begin to fizzle. Do you have that problem? What do you do to stay motivated? I'd say for the last ten years maybe, I've been setting goals instead of resolutions. I'll set goals for the whole year and then smaller goals for each month that connect to each of the bigger goals. I set my

I have two books to share in this spotlight. Please check them out! When Darkness Hunts the Dawn Written by M.H. Woodscourt Rebel. Captive. Dragon. Condemned for leading a rebellion against a petty tyrant, Mikoneh and his twin sister resign themselves to a fiery death. But when the stake is lit, the flames answer to Mikoneh—and he and his sister escape amid the ensuing chaos. On the run, they discover they’re being chased by worse than the tyrant’s knights. From deep undergro

Are you getting whiplash from Instagram's changes? You're not alone--me too. The bad part about things, I knew nothing about it until I started seeing posts from people I wasn't following. I guess IG was thinking I needed to see these posts--you know, based on the algorithm, which I'm still trying to figure out lol. I see more "suggested" posts than posts from people I actually follow and want to see. It's frustrating, but what can we do, right? So, I thought I'd begin the ne

It's hard to believe this is the last Saturday of the year. The entire year. Looking back on the year, I'm amazed at how well it turned out. This is probably my best year. When I began publishing my books independently, around 2010, I initially used Amazon because I couldn't afford to hire someone to bind my books. Amazon did all that, and it didn't cost me anything. Of course, they would take their cut, which I was okay with. Up until 2024, they were the only place my books

Evie Cross moved to Haven Creek to start over. Putting her past behind her, she hopes the small town will accept her and take her in. When the murders begin, Evie wonders how incompetent the police can be. Telling everything to the reporters--Evie knows they can't be that stupid. Calling it robberies gone wrong. But then she's attacked. And none of her things are missing. If that's enough, the murders are in order by name... Including her attack. Being the only one to survive

This is a special blog post! Today I have two spotlights to share.... This is something I want to do with my blogs/newsletters. After I share someone's book in my newsletter, I'll upload it here. It won't be the same week each time so you're never going to expect when it happens! I'm a stinker that way lol. Between Roses  by Enna L Foxwood Seventeen-year-old Eryn can't imagine a life without her influential friend. But then a tarnished bracelet changes everything. It sends he

Last year, I joined Draft2Digital, not knowing how things would turn out with them. Shortly after, I decided to include my books in their end-of-the-year sale, making all of my available books free. I was nervous about it, but thought taking the chance would be a good thing. It was. This year, I'm doing things a little differently. Some of my books will be free while others will be 50% off. I'm still taking a chance, but I have hopes my books will find readers who will cheris

Hello, I'm Amber Grosjean. I am a wife, mother, grandmother (they call me Nana), writer, friend, and the list goes on... I was a writer long before I was any of those things, but I was a wife and mother before I became a published author. I had faith that I was created for something. For the first 10 years of my life, I had no idea what it was, and I tried to give up. I was among the many who attempted suicide, and I'm one of the few who failed. It's the only thing in my life

I have two books that I'd love to share. These two books were in my newsletter's spotlight for November. Love & Laughter: (and other disasters) A midlife romcom Paperback – March 12, 2025 by Elora Canne (Author) 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (9) 4.5 on Goodreads 29 ratings Love & Laughter (and other disasters) , is a closed door, clean romance with sweet intimate moments. Life just got a whole lot more romantic in the village of Pelican Cove. Meryl has to choose between suave, 'Ca

Things that I find comforting, I wouldn't call habits... When I'm feeling low or lower than low, listening to music and singing along usually perks me up. The better the beat, the better I begin feeling--songs like Best News Ever by MercyMe or Fight Song by Rachel Platten. I love a variety of music—country, Christian rock, normal rock, R & B, pop, etc. If there's a beat and I can understand the words, I'm gonna listen to it. And if I listen enough, I learn the words, and when

I enjoy these little moments like viewing into a window of a house that's still being built. Life is kind of like that; a person is always growing and moving forward. I've officially been using my real name as my author identity for one year now, which means it's time for a change. I'm always changing, evolving so to speak. I think all authors are. I love that I get to do that. During the last few years, I've been trying hard to be a better author, a better marketer, or bette

Thanksgiving (in the US) happens this month. This is usually the time when we think of all of the things we're thankful for. It should be daily, but it is what it is. I do try to give thanks as often as I can, even when it isn't on a daily basis. I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for my readers and fellow authors who have helped me along the way. I want to thank everyone for their support, guidance, and love! You are the reason I keep writing. You are the reason I haven'
